Someone said Joni was not responsible for the orchestration on BSN and therefore doesn't get credit for it. But let's talk about inspiration and who gets credit for that. If Mendoza and Klein had been conducting, arranging and producing for Britney or Whitney, would they have been inspired to co-create the stunning work that BSN is? I don't think so. We all have our favorites and BSN is one of mine. I too might have preferred these songs without the full orchestra and I realize our heroine's voice is smoke-damaged. But even with these complaints, this is a stupendous collection of songs, with beautiful and memorable interpretations. For me, it's a desert island disc. Bryan
